Waste Not – Want More!: Multi-purpose Pumpkin

Weighing the value of pumpkins. Pumpkin guts are often a mess to throw away, but there are plenty of reasons to go through the goo. Copyright 2011 Erika Emma Reimers.

Whether you buy a plump pumpkin this year or not, eating the roasted seeds from a pumpkin can be a tasty and nutritional treat! When you’re preparing your jack-o-lantern for Halloween this year or are finished with your decorative orange squash, remember not to overlook the valuable insides. After cutting open a circle around the top of the pumpkin, separate the seeds from the pulp and get ready for an easy trick to enjoy this delicious treat.

Carving a pumpkin can be a fun way to mark the season. If you don’t celebrate Halloween, consider putting a whole pumpkin outside or inside your house for decoration, before harvesting the goodness inside. Copyright 2011 Erika Emma Reimers.
